The admin thing is ridiculous.  At our agency, all the bosses are still old boomers and they love a billion hard copies of everything. They won't offer up their admin to help you make those copies because those admins can only copy output that came directly from the big cheese. So you will stand in front of the xerox all day while the admin spends the whole day on facebook in plain view. Get used to this abuse of taxpayer dollars and learn to like it.[/quote]

this hasn't happened anywhere I've worked. We don't have a secretary. There's one for the Division or so, but the bosses make their own copies. Secretaries where I've been just don't do that sort of thing, but they're not lazy. They just do other tasks.

here's a tip "don't be a princess". Work in your team and make your own copies.

also, don't all large workplaces have upper management people tip toe around? That's really dependent on the attitude of the higher level person. Some like the feeling that they're high level and some are just doing the work and are totally in it with the team. That's just luck of the draw.

GS 15s should do the work we pay them for, and GS 9s should do the work we pay them for.  That's not a princess issue, it's about being a steward over spending.[/quote]
